monopolies and concentration of wealth in a few hands so that the
evils associated with monopolies can be effectively curbed.
• Give guidelines for importing foreign capital and the conditions on
which such capital should be permitted to operate.

19

20. Evaluation of the New Industrial
Policy
Positives of the new policy are:
• Delicensing of most industries will help entrepreneurs to quickly seize business
opportunities.
• Removal of controls under the MRTP Act will facilitate expansion and growth.
• There will be greater inflow of foreign capital and technology due to easing of
restrictions.
• Burden on the public sector will be reduced and reforms relating to the public sector like
transferring sick units to BIFR will help improve their performance.
• In case of women enterprenuers, not only ten percent of the plots in an industrial but also
offering 5 percent additional subsidy subject to a maximum of Rs.5 lakh.
Watch- outs :
• The policy environment is much more conducive for both domestic and foreign
investment than in the past. However, a host of countries are now trying to woo foreign
investment with a much more conducive economic environment than in India. Also,
cultural factor do also tend to tilt the balance in favor of other nations.
• Further, foreign investors still regard the policy and procedural system in India confusing.
Rather many feel that policy and development environment in China is superior to India.
20

21. Evaluation of the New Industrial Policy
This Policy has been criticized on the following grounds:
• It will lead to domination of MNC on the Indian Economy.
Threat from foreign competition due to cheaper imports and
inability to meet the challenge from MNCs due to their weak
economic strength vis-à-vis the MNCs. CII did raise the point
that we have moved away from too much protectionism to
too little protectionism.
• Trade Unions oppose the policy due to fear of unemployment
which may arise due to privatization.
• Distortion in industrial pattern would occur due to slow pace
of investment in few basic and strategic industries. Absence
of a mechanism would slow down the development of
backward
areas.
• Government is silent about tackling the growing industrial
sickness. The Government has not announced a clear exit
21

22. Second Generation Reforms
The 1991 reforms have considerably helped in improving the
economic growth of the country. Yet much more needs to
be done to reap the full benefits. There is a need for Second
Generation Reforms:
A. Exploiting the Knowledge based Global Economy:
• Revolutionizing the telecom sector to help to integrate India’s
economy into the world economy.
• Build institutes for higher education .
• A system of intellectual property rights to reward innovations
adequately.

knowledge based economy.
B. Growing Indian Transnational Corporations:
• Indian firms to enjoy flexibility in entry and exit. Freedom to
diversify and close down unsuccessful units.
• Liberalize and move towards capital account convertibility.
22

23. Second Generation Reforms
C. High Growth of Agriculture:
• State to ensure that adequate investments are made in irrigation,
agricultural research,infrastructure and agricultural input.
D. Empowering the Poor:
• Integrate and consolidate anti poverty measures.
• Set up a system for old age security.
E. Human Development
